Kibworth Development Plan Withdrawn

Artist’s impression of how the development would have looked

A development in Kibworth that could have included a new Sainsbury’s appears to have been abandoned after a planning application was withdrawn.

Proposals for 22 apartments, a veterinary surgery, gym and offices were also included in the plan for the site, at the corner of Wistow Road and Warwick Road.

The supermarket giant had been in talks with developers Manor Oaks Homes about opening a store there.

The plan, which was submitted to Harborough Council earlier this year, had received a number of objections as it went against the Kibworths’ Neighbourhood Plan, which maps out where new development should take place.
